The '''ITV Formula One coverage''' (commonly known as ''ITV-F1'') was a British television programme dedicated to [[Formula One]] coverage that was broadcast by the British broadcaster [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] between 1997–2008.

ITV gained the rights for Formula One coverage for 1997 in late 1995 from the [[BBC]] and focused on more in-depth coverage, conducting more interviews and better camera angles. The coverage was initially presented by [[Jim Rosenthal]] and veteran commentator [[Murray Walker]] and former racing driver [[Martin Brundle]] were the initial commentators before Walker's retirement after the [[2001 United States Grand Prix]] and was succeeded by pit-lane reporter [[James Allen (journalist)|James Allen]]. Rosenthal left in 2005 and was succeeded by [[Steve Rider]] who presented the coverage until ITV ceased to broadcast Formula One after 2008. Formula One coverage returned to the BBC in 2009 for ITV to focus more extensive coverage of [[UEFA Champions League]] football matches.
